Ep. 55 - Meyer Lemon

Plant Profile

Growing Citrus indoors sounds cute, but how soon will you be making lemonade?

Stephen is tempted to try growing Meyer Lemon after babysitting Matthew’s balcony Citrus orchard a couple years ago, so picks his brain before making a final decision. And why won’t Matthew admit that the Meyer Lemon is actually a lemon? We tried to leave Martha Stewart out of this, but we couldn't.

Mentioned in this episode:

  • growing Citrus plants in pots… is it just a novelty in cooler climates like Seattle, or can you actually expect to get fruit?

  • types of Citrus and lemons, and what makes the Meyer Lemon unique, where it came from, and how it became the most popular Citrus for growing in containers indoors

And here’s that Lemon Tree song Matthew sings to himself as he takes care of his Citrus plants!
